Top of the Mornin‘ to You! I hope everyone has a lovely St. Patrick’s Day.D finally arrived home late last night.

We’ll be heading back here tomorrow with Daddy!!!

Here’s today’s Tackle It Tuesday progress report… I was able to get a chunk of the kitchen done in about an hour. I didn’t strip this all the way down to the floor.
